Study Linking Autism to Vaccine Retracted - WebMD, 2/2/10 -
"The venerable British medical journal The Lancet
has retracted a 1998 study suggesting a link between autism and childhood
vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella MMR vaccine ... The Lancet
specifically refers to claims made in the paper that the 12 children in the
study were consecutive patients that appeared for treatment, when the GMC
found that several had been selected especially for the study. The paper
also claimed that the study was approved by the appropriate ethics
committee, when the GMC found it had not been"

Vaccine Expert Advises: Immunization Should Be Given As Early In Life As
Possible - Science Daily, 9/14/09 - "Many
parents would prefer to postpone the vaccination of their babies until these
are older, by fear that their young immune system would be too weak or
overwhelmed by the vaccines. In contrast, pediatricians insist that babies
should be immunized as rapidly as possible after birth against the most
dreadful microbes causing bacterial meningitis or whooping cough. These
infections can cause irreversible damage or even kill the children"

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccines May Decrease Chances Of Oral Cancer -
Science Daily, 8/30/07 - "oral and oropharyngeal
squamous cell carcinoma (OOSCC) have been linked to high-risk HPV strains,
the same strains that cause cervical cancer ... It's possible that oral and
oropharyngeal cancers could be reduced if vaccination were more widespread;
however, additional research is needed"

Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine? - Time Magazine, 8/28/07 -
"From a public health standpoint, that logic seems
to makes sense. Since 80% of women who have sex will acquire the virus by
age 50 (in most cases it causes no health problems and clears the body
within two years), it accomplishes little to give the vaccine to older,
sexually active women, who may already have HPV or have already spread it
within the community. But humanpapillomavirus isn't a single virus; rather,
it's a family of viruses that includes at least 100 strains, more than 30 of
which are transmitted sexually. About 10 of those can cause cervical cancer;
others may cause genital warts. So even if a woman has been exposed to one
strain of HPV, there may well be others that she is still vulnerable to. HPV
also poses a threat to men because genital warts can develop into oral
cancer, and a new study in the medical journal Cancer
suggests that young men be vaccinated against HPV"
